1. 1曬傷(形容詞 sunburnt/sunburned = 曬傷的、曬紅了)

    Skin that has gone red, hot and sore because you stayed in the sun too long. It is not a burn from fire — nothing was hot enough to burn you — it is damage from the light itself, which is why you can get it on a cool, windy day at the beach and be surprised. The pain usually arrives hours after you come inside, not while you are out there, and bad sunburn can and peel. As a noun it is usually uncountable ('I got sunburn'), though American speakers often say 'a sunburn' ('I got a sunburn'). The adjective 'sunburnt' (British) or 'sunburned' (American) is very common: 'my shoulders are sunburnt'. There is also a verb, but it is rare — people say 'I got sunburnt', not 'I sunburned'. Be careful with the feeling of the word: it is an unpleasant, slightly foolish thing that happened to you. It is not the same as 'tan' (曬黑), which is the brown colour people often want.

組成sun + burn, and it is genuinely that old — Old English had sunbryne, 'sun-burning'. Almost every Germanic language built the same word the same way: German Sonnenbrand, Dutch zonnebrand, Swedish solbränna — all literally 'sun-burn'.
